Bulgogi

Bulgogi is korean grilled beef!  It’s really good.  That’s pretty much all there is to say.  Officially you are supposed to grill it over charcoal, but I don’t have a grill.  I pan seared it and it turned out fine.

Ingredients
1 pound steak, sliced.  I used ~1/2 inch thick ribeye steaks they had on sale at my grocery, that was thin enough
5 tablespoons soy sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
6 green onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
4-6 cloves of garlic, minced

1-2 inches ginger, minced
3-4 shallots, thinly sliced

Directions
Put everything in a dish you can cover or a plastic bag you can seal.  Marinate the steak for a few hours or overnight if possible (Is there such a thing as a marinade that doesn’t work better overnight?)

Heat either your grill or your frying pan (probably want to use stainless steel for this if you have it, or cast iron) up to high heat.  As you have room, remove the steaks from the marinade and put them on to the heat. Sear them 2 minutes to a side, then remove.

That’s it.  You can discard the rest of the marinade.  You can eat this with rice, or I ate it as tacos with kimchee.
